Greetings all.

________________________ Vorlin _________________________

On the Vorlin front, I have to admit I'm not very excited about
Vorlin anymore. I think my presence in the project is slowing down
the development of the vocabulary. I am trying to figure if I can
resign without dooming the project.

If I could do it all over again, I would eliminate the "v" phoneme
from Vorlin. Apart from the inclusion of "v", I have no regrets.

Hello Rick:

I am sorry to hear that.
Yes, the main problem of vorlin is the lack of vocabulary, without a
basic one you cannot test the grammar and face new structures. You
cannot enjoy with it.

I think that you faced this problem from a wrong point of view, beside
prepositions and other morphemas, building a vocabulary is just a dirty
work. Just make a list of the most common concepts and assign short
words, and uncommon concepts assign longer ones. There is no posible
search of perfection, every vocabulary (artificial or natural) ends in a
mess.

The idea is good, the grammar has good principles.
come on, stick on a little more.

I am hoping you and Felix will make a mutiny, and take over.
Drag me behind the ship for a while.
